B is for Beau

Beau

Beau is our fourth Great Dane in 34 years of marriage. He is our second "rescue" Great Dane from the Willamette Great Dane Rescue. We got him a year and a half ago from a home where he was abused by a man who wore a hat:( He had a fear of men for a long time but is better with my husband and son but still has a fear of other men. In the last year and half we have had a hard time getting him to eat his dog food. We buy high quality dog food for him but he turns up his nose at it and has continued to get thinner and thinner. Well, it appear that his previous family fed him "people" food and even took him through the drive-thru at McDonald's to get him hamburgers! No wonder he doesn't want dog food. So we have started mixing his dog food with some "people" food and he is eating every last bite! I have always been opposed to giving the dogs "people" food because the vet says it's not good for them but it's not good for the dog to get so thin either!

Beau and Rocky

Beau and our English Bull Dog, Rocky, are the best of friends! They play together and lie on the floor together in front of the wood stove. One of their favorite activities is wrestling in the living room:( I hope you enjoyed meeting Beau! Thanks for stopping by during the A to Z Blog Challenge. Stop by tomorrow for the letter C!

When I got to thinking about it, Beau is actually our third rescue Great Dane. The first was 34 years ago and hubby got him from the pound just before he was going to be killed. He was a very loyal and gentle dog. I could handle him easily.
